placing metal roof on top of older mobile home

I hired a gentleman to put a metal roof on my 1985 mobile that I just purchased which was leaking & caused mold inside. I gutted inside & now I had this person put a water resistant tarp on top of roof temporaily until he could put a new metal roof over existing roof. He left the tarp & put the metal roof over it. Shouldn't he have taken off the tarp? won't it cause moisture in summer since it gets so hot? also a neighbor said it is possible to rot & maybe catch on fire? can you give me an opinion if I should tell him to remove it?

I have a 1978 single wide mobile home and it has a large he section of flat roof. I was wondering if I can put on a pitched metal roof
Instead of every two years paying someone to seal it and worry in winter the weight of snow
On the flat roof
Is that a very expensive project ?
Thank you

Depending upon the current pitch, this could be a fairly involved project. There are, however, metal roofs designed for low slope mobile home retrofits. I would encourage you to look for a contractor in your area who specializes in mobile home repair.
